Recently went up against this woman in a family court matter, even knowing she had no chance in the world to win her case she still fought to the end. She ultimately lost her case but never gave up. I’d hire her in a second.
You were the opposing party in a custody proceeding, which we settled. Though I do not consider the favorable settlement to my client which we reached prior to the close of the your direct case to be a "loss" by any means, I thank you for this positive statement.

Jen was super thorough in explaining the options and procedure for something that clearly I didn’t deal with everyday. Her professionalism made what could seemily be a painful experience go as smooth as possible.

Jen has been my attorney since the start of what was without the most traumatic and difficult thing that I have ever experianced. Throughout the entirety of it she has always been extremely professional both in and outside the courtroom. Well prepared, no-nonsense, straight to the point type of pe...
"I endorse this lawyer. Incredible knowledge on child custody issues and family law matters. Thoughtful and considerate. Wonderful to work with."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jen is thoughtful, thorough, and knows the law and the process. She is always prepared and is pleasant to work with, which is not an easy feat when working on family court and matrimonial matters."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have no hesitation referring friends, family and clients to Jen. She is smart, diligent and friendly. I have received nothing but positive feedback from those referred to her, and consider her a valuable resource."
"Jennifer goes "beyond the call of duty" in her work. She's both a thoughtful and brilliant attorney, and any client would be in good hands with her on their side on matrimonial matters. The field of matrimonial law is a high-conflict battlefield, both between the parties, and between the parties and their attorneys. Malpractice insurances place attorneys in a "high risk" category by recognizing the reality that: (i) emotionally charged cash-strapped clients will likely raise frivolous or exaggerated complaints against their attorneys as a result of sticker shock over the amount of legal fees, and (ii) people in failed relationships are, more likely than not, conflict-seeking, high-conflict personalities, unreasonable, or have some other personality disorder traits predisposing them to conflict and failures in their personal relationships with people in general. Nevertheless, despite those challenges, Jennifer is a professional in every sense of the word. I confidently endorse her"
"Jen is an outstanding attorney with a practice concentration in all family law matters. She has a keen insight into custody issues and a committment to excellence in how she handles her cases. She is an aggressive advocate for her clients, both in and out of the courtroom."
